PostPosted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:12 am    Post subject: rc-service xdm failing Reply with quote

Hi,

the xdm service fails at start, there is no X server. However lightdm and startx (Xfce) as user are working fine.
Code:
# cat /etc/conf.d/xdm |grep -v "^#"
CHECKVT=7

DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"

I checked the following logs after failing xdm but none of them was touched:
Code:
/var/log/Xorg.*
/var/log/lightdm*

What else to check?

What are the messages you receive on /etc/init.d/xdm start?

Weird, x11-apps/xdm was not installed and was never accoring to genlop logs... I can remember xdm was working some time ago.
Does xdm need to be added to world explicitly? Can't remember having ever added xdm.

Ok, installed xdm. But still the service does not start. Manually starting xdm brings some unconfigured xdm login, fine.
rc-service xdm restart says:
Code:
* Stopping lightdm ...
* start-stop-daemon: no matching processses found
* Setting up lighdm ...

When you use lightdm there should be no need at all for installing xdm. Did you read http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Lightdm?

lightdm does not depend on xdm and does not provide some xdm executable.
However I deinstalled xdm again, and re-installed lightdm. Yes, I read that guide. dbus is running and restarting fine.

Starting up xdm manually as root, brings some unconfigured xdm, but login as user there also does not work, and using -debug 3 gives some pam_mount error in the logs:
Code:

rc-service does use lightm user for the lighdm, maybe some permission issue or pam issue there.

Are you getting the same errors using x11-apps/xdm instead of lightdm?

Wait, I thought I need x11-apps/xdm in order to run rc-service xdm with lightdm?
Starting lightdm manually gives a different error, but maybe due to different debug level: "Failed during authentication"
Code:

Some file names are confusing. In fact, /etc/init.d/xdm belongs to xorg-server, not to x11-apps/xdm:
Quote:
$ equery f xorg-server | grep xdm
/etc/conf.d/xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm-setup

Could that be something about pambase?

I'm not sure if this is related, but I'm using the xdm initscript to launch gdm. While it works, it always shows up as "crashed". Nor does it stop properly at shutdown, but at the same time gdm does stop properly and goes back to text mode.
Code:
$ rc-status
Runlevel: default
 net.eth0                                                          [  started  ]
 syslog-ng                                                         [  started  ]
 ntp-client                                                        [  started  ]
 vixie-cron                                                        [  started  ]
 cupsd                                                             [  started  ]
 nfsclient                                                         [  started  ]
 netmount                                                          [  started  ]
 nfsmount                                                          [  started  ]
 sshd                                                              [  started  ]
 xdm                                                               [  crashed  ]
 local                                                             [  started  ]
Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged
Dynamic Runlevel: needed
 rpcbind                                                           [  started  ]
 rpc.pipefs                                                        [  started  ]
 rpc.idmapd                                                        [  started  ]
 rpc.statd                                                         [  started  ]
 xdm-setup                                                         [  started  ]
Dynamic Runlevel: manual

So it looks bad, causes a bit of hate-mail, but generally behaves well. One of these days I may look into it, when I have spare time.

I still have this very annoying issue, affecting more and more of my machines.
xdm with lightdm does not start anymore. I thought it could be something about messed file permissions. lightdm as root works, startx as user also works. lightdm is set to user "lightdm" here. su - lightdm also works.

Do you have a file /var/log/xdm.log? If so, what does it tell?

Code:
(pam_mount.c:262): could not get userxdm error (pid 14580): pam_authenticate failure: Error in service module

pam_mount authentication at least works for terminal user logins.

I recently merged system-auth with new changes, something wrong there?
Code:
# cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth

I tried reverting to previous versions:
    sys-auth/pam_mount-2.14
    sys-auth/pambase-20140313
    sys-apps/shadow-4.2.1

I also reverted /etc/pam.d/system-auth to previous version.
I tried disabling pam_mount completely in /etc/pam.d/system-auth.
None of the solutions did solve starting xdm.
Then mtime of /var/log/xdm.log was not even touched after rc-service xdm restart, so I wonder if that log is written at all.

Long-time issue finally solved.
I had some custom /etc/profile.d/ scripts, that were sourced. One of them did an exit instead of return for non-interactive shells. I never noticed that on usual logins but lightdm user session was broken by that.
